2006 Fiat Ducato 2.0L Diesel · WM06 AAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent MOT on 29 April 2022 at 191,399 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a single failed test just ten days prior on 19 April 2022 at 191,337 miles. This initial failure suggests a minor administrative or consumable-related issue that was rectified immediately. Since that successful pass in early 2022, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT for over four years, which raises concerns regarding its current mechanical state and legal compliance. The mileage data indicates a period of low usage in recent years. Between February 2019 and April 2022, the Ducato covered 8,886 miles, moving from 190,513 to 191,399 miles. This rate is well below the noted average of 9,570 miles per year for a twenty-year-old commercial vehicle. While lower mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, long periods of standing can lead to secondary issues such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber hoses, and fluid degradation within the system. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity, given the vehicle's age and the lack of recent testing. Focus attention on potential corrosion on the sills, members and floor pans, which are common on Ducato models of this era. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or tearing. Because the MOT is now years overdue, an immediate test is mandatory to ensure that no significant mechanical failures have developed during the multi-year lapse in recorded inspections.
